Vice President Kashim Shettima has expressed deep grief over the recent terrorist attack in Darajamal community, Bama Local Government Area of Borno State, which claimed the lives of both civilians and soldiers.
In a condolence message issued on Monday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Stanley Nkwocha, the Vice President described the incident as a national tragedy that has plunged the country into mourning.
“I extend my heartfelt condolences to Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, the people of Borno State, and the Nigerian military over the tragic loss of our compatriots. These deaths have left the entire nation in collective grief, but we are confident that justice will be served for the bereaved families,” Shettima said.
Shettima assured residents that the Federal Government, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, remains resolute in its commitment to end terrorism.
He recalled the President’s directive to the Armed Forces to reassess ongoing security operations and deploy advanced military hardware and surveillance technology to intensify the fight against insurgents nationwide.
The Vice President further reaffirmed the administration’s consideration of establishing state police, noting that some security challenges demand specialised local forces with deep knowledge of terrain and culture to safeguard communities more effectively.
